George Carlin joked about it in his album “Occupation Fool”

Rapture was 1981. The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” was 1979. The ONLY rap song I ever liked.

Yes it’s rap but it doesn’t have a lyrical melody like the subject video you posted.
To: Krankor
Not even close to rap. Melody. Terrific harmony.

No, I think it was the CDB’s “Uneasy Rider”.

The first time i heard rap I immediately thought of Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” done many years before, and many years before Run DMC covered it, leading to the explosive crossover to the white audiences.
Sure, there were earlier nibbles at rap, but “Walk This Way” crashed the walls down from both sides.
BTW, I hate rap. Someone called it Dr. Seuss set to music. So I tried just that with my kids, rapping “The Cat in the Hat” to the long, drony jams of “Derek and the Dominoes in Concert” (specifically “Got to Get Better in a Little While”). It worked really well and my kids loved it.

So this isn’t rap? Why would that not be rap?

To me, the beginning of rap was when Blondie hit the charts with the song called “Rapture” some 30 years ago. Could it really have been that long? The Rapture never happened but unfortunately, rap did.

Someone called it Dr. Seuss set to music. I actually spoofed in a talent show in the 80s by rapping Dr. Seuss to Herbie Hancock.
